1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

We recently expanded the commonly used dual luciferase assaying method toward multiplex hextuple luciferase assaying, allowing monitoring the activity of five experimental pathways against one control at the same time. In doing so, while our expanded assay utilizes a total of six orthogonal luciferases instead of two, this assay, conveniently, still utilizes the well-established reagents and principles of the widely used dual luciferase assay. Three quenchable D-luciferin-consuming luciferases are measured after addition of D-Luciferin substrate, followed by quenching of their bioluminescence (BL) and the measurement of three coelenterazine (CTZ)-consuming luciferases after addition of CTZ substrate, all in the same vessel. Here, we provide detailed protocols on how to perform such multiplex hextuple luciferase assaying to monitor cellular signal processing upstream of five transcription factors and their corresponding transcription factor-binding motifs, using a constitutive promoter as normalization control. The first protocol is provided on how to perform cell culture in preparation toward genetic or pharmaceutical perturbations, as well as transfecting a multiplex hextuple luciferase reporter vector encoding all luciferase reporter units needed for multiplex hextuple luciferase assaying. The second protocol details on how to execute multiplex hextuple luciferase assaying using a microplate reader appropriately equipped to detect the different BLs emitted by all six luciferases. Finally, the third protocol provides details on analyzing, plotting, and interpreting the data obtained by the microplate reader.
